SIX LIVES LOST.
A Father and Five Children Perish
in Burning Building.

in a Burning Building.
Special TO the Globe.
WAUsAU, Wis, Nov. 26. Charles
Honikele, deliveryman for j. G. Geb-
hart, and five children, were suf1Ocated
in burning house at o'clock this
moring. The house was built to resist
the severe winters of this climate, the
walls being filled with mill shavingS and
the front door and window boarded up
for winter. The fire smouldered in the
walls and filled the house with poison
ovs gas and smoke. Three children
Suffocated before the fire broke out. The
only means of exit was cut off by the
fire. HOnikele threw two children
through the blazing circle of fire at the
window and attempted to rescue the
others but was overcome by smoke and
perished in the flames. The children
ne threw out have since died. Mrs.
Honikele escaped with slight injuries,
but is almost insane with grief and
fright. The cause of the fire is sup
posed to be the Overturning of q lamp
by a cat, although another report says
the blaze was of incendiary origin.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
WAUsAU, Wis, Nov, ga horrible
hQlOcaSC occurred IN InlS CITY at 5
o'clock this morning, A building occu-
pied as a residence by Carl HOnikel,
mis- wife and five children, was con-
sumed by fire and before assistance
could reach them three of the chill
dsen perished, and the other two and
father have since died of their injuries.
Mrs. Honikel is still alive, but her in
juries are of a serious nature. The
bdilding was wooden structure, dou-
ole boarded, filled in with sawduSt and
very infammable. The front was used
for sleeping rooms and the back as a
kitchen. The fire started in the kitchen
and the family was doubtless asphyxi-
ated before they were reached by the
flames. The fire department was very
slow in responding to the alarm. Chief
Gebhart, of the fire department.. took
everybody from the burning building.
Honikel was a Woodworking, indus
trious German. When dragged through
the window he had clasped in either
arm the inanimate bodies of two babies.
The casualty is one of the most dreadful
that has happened in this vicinity. and
what makes it seem worse is that the
building was fired by an incendiary.
Mrs. HOnikel has, since recovering con-
'sciousness, and on Tearing the fate of
her husband and children, raved like a
maniac, and it is feared that even if she
lives she will be hopelessly insane.

AGAIN THE UMPIRE.
Harvard Claims to Have Been
Robbed of the Foot Ball Game.

Boston, Nov. 26.-The 600 Harvard
students who went to New York to wit
ness Thursdays foot ball game claim
that the game was unfairly won by
Yale, being direct gift by the referee
and umpire. They say that the touch
down made by Corbin, from which a
goal was kicked, was unfair, and it dis
tinctly provided in the rules that the
center rush cannot run with the ball
before it has touched another man,
which it had not in this case. This
would take Off six points from Yaie'S
score. Then they claim that Sears
made a touchdown at least two minutes
before the end of the first three quar-
terS. This touchdown was disallowed
by Referee Cook, of Princeton, on the
ground that it was made ten sec
Onds after he had called time.
Over fifty Harvard men who timed the
game will swear that, without counting
time taken out, the total playing time
was forty-three minutes. This would
have given Harvard four more points
a total of eleven, and would have given
the team confidence and would have
won the game. They say that the um-
pire, Hancock, quarterback of Prince
ton, was prejudiced in his decisions and
this is shown by the ascertained fact
that he was interested in wager of
S175 ON Yale against Harvard.

Ups and Downs on the Board of
Trade at Yesterdays Sessions.
Special to the Globe.
around the opening on Change this
morning may be briefly summed up in
the statement that wheat started weak,
provisions barely steady and corn
strong. Corn developed decided
strength, and wheat followed, provis-
ions. on the contrary, showing signs of
weakness and fatigue. May corn ad-
vaneed from 501ac to 511sc, sold off a
shade, and was actively. traded in at
503l@509c. Oats were bullish and adj
vanced to 275sc for December and 3215c
for May. A combination of horse rail-
way men is said to be largely interested
in May oats. After selling down to
753lc for December and S234c for May,
Wheat made a gain of sc in sympathy
with corn, though determined eff
fort was made by strong local
parties to break the market.
May pork sold off to S14.6O: January
ribs were traded in as low as s7.121i,
and January lard as low as S7.1O. The
market acted trifle Shaky. After the
first hour the board of trade markets
narrowed, and the tendency was rather
downward. There was a general diSpo-
SitiOn on the part of the longs to take
profits, and as result of realizing sales
values Softened somewhat. Most of
the heavy local plungerS are out of their
holdings, but the country and other
nOn-professiOnal spectators are reluc-
tant to accept the theory that the boom
has spent itself for the present. Wheat
worked down to the lowest point of the
day during the last hour and closed soft.
Gables were just steady and speculative
inquiry has passed. The visible supply
Receipts are still heav y at Minneapolis,
but Duluth is not getting its share of
grain. Receipts of wheat at primary
markets are lighter this crop year by
nearly 10000, 900 bushels than last, Chi
cago and Duluth showing heaviest per-
centage of loss. Corn acted rather
toppy toward the last, and sold back to
point below yesterdays closing. May
sold down to the vicinity of SOC, and
the other months on the list suffered
similar depreciation. The long-looked-
for and lOng-played for reaction Oc-
Cured, and it carried prices off full
1c. Receipts continue light and con-
dititiOnS are strong, but the surplus
steam is finding vent. Oats, too, broke
&c for the best prices of the day. Free
unloading of long provisions Occasioned
shrinkage of zoe in pork and 719@10c
in ribs and lard. Estimated receipts of
hogs for next week are 100000 head, the
same as this week. Estimated receipts
for Monday: Wheat, $50 cars; corn, 240
cars; oats, 143 cars.

Convict Testimony no Good.

Special TO the Globe.
REDFIELD, Dak., Nov. 26.-In the
district court now in session here the
trial of Walter E. Washburn on a charge
of burglary at AthoI nearly two years
ago. came up yesterday, and the trial
continued until midnight. This morn
ing the jury after a brief consultation
brought in verdict of acquittal. The
main witness against Washburn was an
alleged accomplice, Fred H. Bulge by
name. 1t may be remembered that
Bulge shorty after the affair took place
surrendered himself to the authorities
in New York city. He was brought
back here, pleaded guilty, and has since
served out an eighteen months term in
the penitentiary. He related on the
witness stand straightforward story
against young Washburn. but the evil
dence was not, in the estimation Of the

A Little More Inside History Re-
garding Lamentable Dissen-
siOnS.
New YORK, Nov. 26.-The Evening
Sun says that Master Workman Quinn,
of District Assembly No. 40, Knights OF
Labor, is raving mad over the exposure
being made by that paper of the MEM
bers of the general executive board, and
through whose action the revolt in the
order is taking place. Mr.. Quinn caused
to be published in the Volks Zeitung
yesterday a notice, the purpOrt of which
is that he has issued orders that here
after no reporters will be allowed to
enter Pythagoras hall, the headquarters
of 40, under penalty of being elected.
Mr.. Quinn told an Evening Sun re-
porter that the disruption and difficult
ties in the order were due entirely to
newspaper reporters, and that it would
be blessing for the labor organizations
if there were no reporters
in existence. The Evening
Sun publishes an exhaustive re-
view of the present troubles in the
labor ranks, which it asserts are leading
ecutive board. The facts were given
out by an ex-49er, who says that
ever since 1882 district 40 has
been antagonistic to Mr.. Powderly be-
cause the latter raised certain boycott
which the former had declared, and
which led to 49's suspension,
the formation of the Home club, its sub
sequent bitter opposition to Powderly,
and the warning to the general master
workman of an attempt OH the part of
the Home club to asSassinate him. The
Evening Suns informant asserts that
Mr.. Powderly recognized the power OF
the home club later on, and swOre al
legiance to it. 1t is asserted that his
subsequent course has been dictated by
the Home club boys, and that all the
present difficulties and dissatisfactiOns
in the order are directly attributable to
district assembly 40.
